about

SpinTunes 5 round 4 was a photo finish based on a picture of a single bare human footprint in the sand.

There's a "song bio" at music.cratchit.org/2012/08/carbon-footprint.html

lyrics

Uncle Darwin, can you see
What is happening to me?
Evolutionarily
We're starting over

Things have been heating up for years
The rampant greenhouse of our fears
And though the Third World said they didn't start the fires
They fueled them with their sweat and tears

Now on the shore
We say goodbye
To withered hills
And dust-laden sky
And it's getting hard to breathe
We're going to the sea

In the ocean depths we'll dwell
Fins and gills will do just swell
And whether we'll return to see the light of day
Only Time can truly tell

[musical interlude]

Here on Everest Island
I write our wisdom in the sand
So you may know of us, and the measure of our worth
Before the tide reclaims the land

Now on the shore
We say goodbye
To withered hills
And dust-laden sky
And it's getting hard to breathe
We're going to the sea
